CHINOPERL: Journal of Chinese Oral and Performing Literature, formerly CHINOPERL Papers and CHINOPERL News, is a peer-reviewed[3] American academic journal dedicated to the study of Chinese performing arts like quyi and xiqu (Chinese opera). It is the only western-language journal devoted to this field.[4]

The acronym CHINOPERL for Chinese Oral and Performing Literature was coined by Yuen Ren Chao.[5]

History

The CHINOPERL (Chinese Oral and Performing Literature) organization was founded in 1969 by a group of sinologists which included Yuen Ren Chao and his daughter Rulan Chao Pian, Nicholas Bodman, Milena Dolezelova, and Wolfram Eberhard, during a meeting at Cornell University.[5] Its official publication was initially a newsletter titled CHINOPERL News. In 1976 it became a journal titled CHINOPERL Papers, and in 2013 it was renamed CHINOPERL: Journal of Chinese Oral and Performing Literature when it first published under Maney Publishing. (Maney was purchased by Taylor & Francis in 2016.[3]) In 2020, the University of Hawaiʻi Press began to publish this journal.[4]
